Targeting HIF1α/miR-22/CDK8/KAT5 feedback loop inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma development
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
The glucose metabolism reprogramming is a hallmark of liver cancer. Although miR-22 has been reported to function as a tumor repressor in HCC, its role in aerobic glycolysis has not explicitly been explored. In this study, we supposed that miR-22 might be involved in the glucose metabolism reprogramming in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We showed that knockdown of miR-22 caused a increase in generation of intracellular glucose and lactate, as well as a decrease in the oxygen consumption rate (OCR), which promotes metabolic switch from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis. Downregulation of miR-22-triggered glucose metabolism reprogramming promoted the growth of HCC in vivo. Mechanistically, miR-22 decreased the activity of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) protein through directly targeting CDK8 and KAT5, forming a negative feedback loop of HIF1α/miR-22/CDK8/KAT5/HIF1α. Interestingly, we also indicated that HBx inhibited the miR-22 but elevated CDK8/KAT5 expression in HCC cells. Thus, these findings reveal a previously unappreciated function of miR-22 in HCC cell glycolysis and collectively highlight that miR-22 inhibits glucose metabolism reprogramming through suppressing CDK8/KAT5/HIF1α axis, which may be considered as one of the powerful effective therapeutics for HCC patients.
